Samples
Photobooth and Pixlr were used to take and edit photos. I then put them on a Google Draw document and they will appear below in jpeg, pdf, and embed modes.
Thoughts:
Photos, both taken personally or taken from the web, have many different uses in schools. Photos can be used by teachers to incorporate labels and visuals for students who may struggle with written or oral instruction. Students may use these images to create presentations, do research, or look up art pieces. Sometimes photos online can extend knowledge or previous content studied. Photos have so many uses and students can learn to professionally look up photos to use.
